Different from the undercurrents of the major clans in Middle-earth, thousands of miles away in southern border, after the beast catastrophe, the people of all ethnic groups in southern border silently rebuilt their homes. Although this is the place that suffered the most, the world It is so big that no one seems to remember this place. Anyway, the wasteland in the southern border is not in the eyes of the wealthy people in the middle land.
In Qilidong, where the Miao people lived, scars from beast monsters can still be seen everywhere, but many brand new houses have been built on top of the ruins. At the mountainside behind Qilidong, there are still many priests going in and out of the mysterious altar entrance. At this moment when everything is waiting to be done, the protection of the ancestors is extremely important to the Miao people.
The Miao people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and the days passed day by day. Seeing the sun set and night fall, many Miao people returned to their homes one after another, relaxing their tired lives. The body, after dinner, gradually fell asleep in the light of many stars in the night sky.
It's just that in the dead of night, a white figure suddenly appeared in Qilidong, like a faint light in the darkness, undulating in the quiet valley, quietly approaching the foot of the altar in the back mountain.
At the entrance to the mountain, although it was late at night, there were still two Miao soldiers guarding them. However, the night wind was blowing suddenly, and they felt a flash of white light that was as fast as lightning passing by in front of them. The flowers are lightly released at night, and I can't help but feel in a trance for a while.
After a while, they regained their sobriety, but the short absence was so short that both of them thought it was just an occasional doze off after being tired. After scolding themselves a few words in their hearts, the two Miao people went Pull yourself together, and carefully guard the holy land of your own people again.
But behind them, a ghostly white figure slowly seeped out from the darkness, and appeared on the platform at the entrance of the altar, dressed in white, charming and infinite, all the stars in the sky seemed to be attracted by her Who is this girl, if not Xiaobai
Xiaobai looked around for a few times, and then looked into the dark cave. Although it was still pitch black, Xiaobai's eyes moved slowly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Touched, shook his head silently, and sighed lightly.
The defense here is much worse than she expected, nothing like the weather when she and Gui Li came here to see the great wizard, not to mention the thick soldiers at the foot of the mountain, there should be many burdens in this altar Priests of witchcraft are not as defenseless as they are in front of them. It seems that the catastrophe of the beast monsters is really a heavy loss for the Miao people.
In fact, it's not just the Miao people in front of them. Looking around the world, for the sake of that beast god alone, there are so many innocent people who have been ruined and displaced.
Xiaobai shook his head slightly, didn't think too much, and swept up his body, as if turning into a white gleam, and swept straight into the cave. Most of this cave is still the same as in the past, the path has not changed, even if there is a torch on the stone wall at a distance, it is still the same as before, but under Xiaobai's perception, he found that in this cave near and far, there are people But it was very rare, there were so few people, breathing slowly and steadily, presumably fell asleep.
Xiaobai didn't bother to bother, and flew silently in the cave according to the path in her memory. With her thousand-year-old practice, not to mention these low-level Miao priests, even people with deep cultivation and good Taoism would not be able to escape. Might not be able to detect her. After a while, she came outside the spacious cave where the great wizard once lived.
When she got here, Xiaobai stopped, frowned slightly, and looked into the cave. Although it was far away, she already felt that there was another person inside, and this person seemed to be the same as the other person she felt just now. Not the same, at least he wasn't sleeping.
In the cave, the pile of raging flames still radiated bright light, and in the shadow of the light, the stone statue of the dog god loomed in the flickering light and shadow. Xiao Bai stared at the dog's head on the statue for a moment, then retracted his eyes and landed in front of the fire.
A young figure was sitting in front of the fire, with his back to the entrance of the cave. Xiaobai couldn't see his face clearly, but he could roughly tell that it was a young man. I saw him sitting on the ground facing the blazing flames, but his body movements did not stop for a moment. From time to time, he drew mysterious and strange patterns in front of him, and at the same time he chanted reverently in Miao language. What.
Xiao Bai quietly came behind the man, the fire light gradually shone on her body, and a long shadow was drawn behind her. She silently listened to the young man's low, song-like voice, echoing in this ancient cave, as if he was saying something.
The low echoes seemed endless. Looking from the side, the young Miao priest was full of piousness, probably already fully integrated into the illusory world.
A trace of bewilderment gradually appeared on Xiaobai's face, and then he sighed softly.
The strange voice immediately alarmed the young Miao priest. He was startled and wanted to turn around to check what happened, but before his body moved, that delicate white palm flashed in front of his eyes. However, it landed on his forehead and patted it lightly.
The young Miao priest suddenly rolled his eyes, his body trembled a few times, and he lost consciousness for a moment and fell to the ground beside him.
The mysterious singing voice in the cave, together with the echo, quietly calmed down.
Xiaobai looked at the young face, smiled suddenly, and said softly: "Whether there is a dog god, and whether the dog god will protect your people, I don't know, but you are such a pious and determined person." Now, presumably the great wizard can rest assured!"
After finishing speaking, Xiaobai shook his head slightly, avoided the body of the young priest and the fire, and walked by, but walked straight towards the statue of the dog god.
For a long time, the Miao people believed in the dog god, believing that the dog god gave them a new life and protected the family from multiplying. Therefore, even the priests in this cave did not dare to approach this statue easily.
At this moment, Xiao Bai was standing in front of this dog god statue carved out of black stone.
The whole body of the statue is carved out of black stone, a specialty in southern Xinjiang. Xiaobai has a deep understanding of southern Xinjiang, so he naturally knows that this is not the miracle of the dog god that many Miao people believe deeply in, but a very rare alien species among the black stones, which contains faint silver flakes to form this mysterious and beautiful microscopic Light.
However, the purpose of her trip was naturally not to watch the statue of the Miao dog god. After a while, her attention was focused on the dog's head. I don't know how old this statue was, but the original creator was obviously a master craftsman. Needless to say, the carving skills are proficient, lifelike, what's more, the dog's head is full of details, without the slightest ambiguity If it weren't for the obvious stone in front of you, it would almost make people think it was a black dog with its mouth slightly open.
And on the head of the dog god statue, the most conspicuous thing is a pair of eyes. Judging from the material, it seems to be black stone, but the two black stones inlaid in the eye sockets are quite different from the surrounding ones, and they are more pure and deep. The blazing flames in the distance are only reflected in the eyes of the statue, and it seems that there is a god in a trance, and it is silently staring at Xiaobai.
Xiaobai's heart trembled suddenly, and he took a step back. The pressure on his whole body was relieved immediately, and he regained consciousness immediately. She frowned slightly, looked at the statue again, snorted, and said: "There is still such a confusing restriction." Then she pondered for a moment, but there was a trace of confusion, and said softly: "But this is clearly the Taoism of the Middle Earth, how could it appear here?"
She thought silently for a moment, then shook her head lightly, and put aside this boring thought. For the purpose of her coming here at this moment, this is naturally not what she wants to explore. She looked at the statue again, and finally her eyes fell on the pair of lifelike eyes on the statue. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then she stretched out her hand and pressed lightly on the pair of pure and deep black eyes. .
In the ancient cave, I suddenly thought of a dull roar. The sound was not loud, but it seemed to make the spacious cave tremble. In the center, it slowly descended and sank into the ground until most of its body was covered, only the dog's head of the statue remained on the ground.
Behind the statue, there is a smooth stone wall, which is different from the surrounding stone walls. It seems to be covered with a layer of black air, making it hard to see clearly. But this is no trouble for Xiaobai, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she walked forward, stretched out her sleeve and waved, a gust of wind swept from the bottom of her hand, swept across the stone wall, and immediately Blow away the black air.
Then, in the deep darkness on the stone wall, a little golden light suddenly emerged, and after a while, I saw another little bit of golden light, like miracles that suddenly descended on this secular world, poured out on the stone wall like a spring, forming Scenes of magical pictures and words appeared, and even Xiao Bai, who was standing not far away, shone slightly on her face refracted by the golden light.
Xiaobai stared at the mysterious pictures and texts presented sequentially in front of her, and her eyes moved, and she looked at them line by line. In front of her was the last secret of the ancient witch clan that had been passed down for countless years. Her gaze was jumping, sometimes frozen, sometimes joyful, and finally, she saw the huge unruly fire dragon pattern roaring towards the sky.
Xiaobai took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Afterwards, she confirmed it again, and then slightly closed her eyes, as if silently memorizing, keeping these pictures and texts in her heart.
When she opened her eyes again, her watery eyes swept across the stone wall, and she said to herself: "I never imagined that those guys would keep this trick. Did they know that the Wu Clan was going to be destroyed?"
As she said that, she smiled faintly, as if she didn't bother to bother about the troubles of the ancients who didn't know how many years ago. When she was about to turn around, her brows frowned suddenly, and her gaze suddenly focused, but it fell on the end of the glittering golden picture. Under the wild and unruly huge fire dragon pattern, there seems to be a small piece of black air that is different from the surroundings, still sticking to the stone wall.
Xiaobai was slightly surprised, and pondered for a moment, but in the end she was still unwilling to let it go easily, and was waiting to be checked, when suddenly her heart moved, she suddenly turned around, her eyes were instantly cold, and she looked coldly.
In the huge cave, it was empty, only the burning fire made the crackling sound of firewood from time to time, and there was no one else except the unconscious young priest who fell on the ground.
Xiaobai's eyes drifted over the young priest, and then carefully looked at the surrounding caves. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, she frowned slightly and turned around slowly.
Could it be that after being in this strange and mysterious place for too long, I became a little suspicious
Xiaobai shook his head, smiled wryly, collected himself, then raised his hand, and the breeze blew out, but the force was stronger than before. After a while, the remaining black air finally dissipated.
On the stone wall, there are still several lines of writing.
Xiaobai cheered up and looked carefully. After a while, surprise and surprise appeared on her face, and she blurted out: "It turns out that the art of summoning souls is here..."
It's just that as her eyes moved, the joy gradually faded away, replaced by a grim and confused expression. Finally, after reading all the words, she took a step back slowly, as if spiritually, the little black Qi suddenly surrounded him, covering up the mysterious lines of writing again.
Xiaobai lowered his head slightly, was speechless for a long while, then sighed softly after a long time, and said softly: "It turns out that the ancient witch clan was so destroyed, this... so what should I do? Should I tell him this? Woolen cloth?"
She seemed to have suddenly encountered great confusion in her heart, and hesitated for a while.
The black air that was blown away by the wind slowly condensed again, and the text patterns that originally emitted brilliant golden light were slowly covered up again. Xiaobai turned around slowly, and the low roar sounded again behind her, and the statue of the dog god rose back to its original position, covering up the secret.
In the ancient cave, everything seems to have returned to its original calm. Xiaobai's figure slowly paced out. She walked very slowly and seemed to be in a state of mind, but under the bright flames, her figure was still the same after all. Disappear in this cave.
※※※
Silence came here again, and I don't know how long it took. The ancient dog god statue silently stared at everything in the cave, and the light refracted in its eyes, which looked so deep.
Suddenly, the body that had been lying on the ground moved, and the young Miao priest climbed up cautiously, and looked towards the entrance of the cave. It was quiet and there was no movement. Obviously, the mysterious woman in white just now had left.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, his body that had been tense all this time slowly relaxed, smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "It's so dangerous, if it wasn't for my clan's autistic magic, all six senses would be wiped out, and I really wouldn't be able to hide it from her." …”
Then, his gaze suddenly became hot, and he turned around abruptly, looking at the statue of the dog god.
Among the Miao people, they have always been in awe of the gods, especially for this statue that has been enshrined since ancient times. Not to mention that this young man has come into contact with this statue since he was a child, even if he looked at him directly, he rarely looked at him directly, because it is a disrespectful act in the clan.
It's just that at this moment, the burning flames were reflected in his eyes, and it seemed that his body was starting to heat up. He stared at the statue, and the eyes of the statue seemed to be staring at him.
Immediately afterwards, it seemed that a huge invisible force suddenly drove secretly behind him. The young priest gritted his teeth and walked towards the statue step by step. The approaching figure was reflected in the eyes of the ancient statue, as if it was also carrying a trace of sadness.
Finally, he walked up to the statue, slowly raised his trembling hands, paused and paused in mid-air, but finally stretched out. The expression on his face seemed to be pained and struggling, but it was more like being held by someone. Roasted and tormented by the flames!
It's just that those hands still didn't retract after all, and they touched the eyes of the god statue.
In an instant, the low roar sounded again, and the whole cave began to tremble slightly again, and the idol slowly sank into the ground again, and the mysterious stone wall was right in front of us.
The young priest's eyes blazed with fanaticism, and he couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed forward, waving his hands, and the black air immediately scattered in all directions. The golden light slowly emerged again, shining his face brightly.
The ancient text patterns, which seemed to have a deceptive meaning, appeared one by one before his eyes. The expression on his face was like drinking alcohol, revealing indescribable ecstasy and satisfaction, even his hands were trembling.
He gently touched the pictures and texts on the mysterious stone wall with trembling hands, and read something in a low voice, with great joy, he seemed to see through each and every text and pattern, he was so engrossed and delighted He got so carried away, that he even forgot and didn't notice that at the bottom of this picture, there was a small black air that was almost integrated with the surrounding darkness.
The golden words and brilliant patterns seem to have completely occupied his mind. Beside him, the dog god statue with only its head still on the ground still looks so deep in its eyes, but at this moment At this moment, under the brilliant golden light on the flames and the stone wall, the figure of the young priest was reflected in its eye sockets. Apart from the initial trace of deep sadness, there seemed to be a deep sadness in the vicissitudes of the eyes. !
